Holy places and days

Ask a senior devotee for blessings before you go

A holy place is entered by the mercy of devotees. Ask someone you respect for their blessing first.

The same guide says that a ticket is not what brings one into the dhām; the mercy of an advanced devotee is. If you know a senior devotee, tell them where you are going and ask for their blessing, so that you may enter the dhām with their mercy.
